Jude Bellingham poked fun at Jamie Carragher’s style after helping Real Madrid into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Bellingham played another starring role for his side in Europe, playing 85 minutes of Madrid’s 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig as they secured a 2-1 aggregate win in the Spanish capital on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old has taken to his new side like a duck to water, proving himself as one of the most clinical players in Europe following his £113million move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
Following the match on Wednesday night, he spoke to CBS Sports reporter Guillem Balague with Carragher watching on in the studio alongside Micah Richards, Thierry Henry and Kate Abdo.
Balague referenced Carragher in the interview, joking that the former defender often jokes about his own style sense, but Bellingham leapt to the reporter’s defence.

‘I think you look brilliant tonight, mate,’ the midfielder said before turning his attention to Carragher.
‘I’ve seen some of the suits that Jamie wears, I’m not too sure,’ he said. ‘I think you can give him a bit of stick back.’
Carragher burst out laughing in the studio, before saying: ‘Honestly, he’s brilliant. He’s unbelievable, isn’t he?’
Richards, meanwhile, responded: ‘He’s a class act, isn’t he?’

He has enjoyed wide success with the club, already scoring 20 goals in his debut season
Bellingham has scored 20 goals in 31 games for Madrid this season, flourishing in a more advanced role for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
He is chasing both the league title and Champions League in his first season at the club, and will have high hopes of international success too this summer with England.
The midfielder also claimed he was being targeted by Spanish match officials because he’s new to LaLiga.
The England midfielder has been banned for two games after telling referee Jesus Gil Manzano ‘it was a f***ing goal’ following his late cancelled out winner against Valencia on Saturday.
